Overview

At Alverno, you’ll find an inclusive, welcoming community. Small class sizes allow students to form strong relationships with peers and professors. Your professors will serve as mentors and references for you, helping connect you to opportunities for fieldwork and internships, graduate school and employment.

All Alverno social work courses contain hands-on learning and field-based components, including two internship experiences. We partner with community-based organizations, who provide guest speakers, host tours and supervise comprehensive field education experiences.

Social work majors not only learn relevant academic knowledge but also field-based skills in the classroom. Through Alverno’s 8 Abilities and our College’s social-justice focused values, you will develop a strong ethical and moral code. You’ll practice the ability to adapt to your circumstances, and you’ll grow in confidence. Above all, you’ll be ready to thrive no matter which career path you choose.
